What a hoot! But you know, nowadays somebody could probably photoshop you into one of those pictues. I'll never tell!<BR/><BR/>Paul and Joe - Yes, I love the names, too. I'll always wonder if Whirlango was related to Whirlaway, a 1940s Triple Crown Champion.<BR/><BR/>Jamie Dawn - That's good to know! Maybe hubby and I can make our way down your way someday. That would surely be a treat!Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616642644756944035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31423517.post-22780008521016021822008-04-17T13:03:00.000-05:002008-04-17T13:03:00.000-05:00Oaklawn is less than ten minutes from my house!Tha...Oaklawn is less than ten minutes from my house!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing.<BR/>I'm' with Paul on the fact that horse names are neato.Jamie Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11036600186909466411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31423517.post-16620642142630056672008-04-17T00:15:00.000-05:002008-04-17T00:15:00.000-05:00I agree with Paul, stories like these are great. ...I agree with Paul, stories like these are great.

I will say again as I have many times that I am the only grandchild who is not in a winner's circle photo. <BR/><BR/>But Connie and Joe have one up on me.

The horse stole the show.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07528306043773141973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31423517.post-82027519302656246852008-04-16T22:17:00.000-05:002008-04-16T22:17:00.000-05:00Yes, Sue, trips to the race track were always a tr...Yes, Sue, trips to the race track were always a treat for me too.
